Third game

(XNUMX) Meeting the Ordination Master again after many years


(XNUMX) After many years of destiny for the Fa conference, I met the Master of Ordination again (This master has not yet set the school, if there are typos, please report the error, the merit is boundless!) 

Dear Master Yamato’s mercy, and respected fellow practitioners of the Great Virtue, good evening everyone! Amitabha.Tonight is a very special day. In 2011, the third day of the first lunar month, this day of Longtian is very happy. You must find it very strange. Today is not the Sixth Day. Even I am very happy today because our abbot, Master Yamato Master, his various examples and teachings often make us feel deep admiration.

I remember that the main hall of Yuanyuan Temple had just been opened, and on the day of the sanctuary, it seemed that Master Yamato also sent out a heart fasting monk, and the monks who came to make offerings were quite enthusiastic.So not long ago, Yuanyuan Temple also invited Master Goben to come here to make offerings.Today’s fate is also very special. On the fourth day of tomorrow, Master Wudao came to Badan Island in Indonesia to initiate a three-time ritual meeting; then, on the day before the meeting, Master Yamato was also motivated to invite Master Wudao to come. It should be provided here.It just so happens that I will study with everyone here from the XNUMXst to the XNUMXth of this month. This cause and condition can be said to be very special to me, and can only be described by the arrangement of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Because of Master Yamato, he often likes to make good destinies and provide for the Three Jewels. This intention also unintentionally made me the chance to meet Master Wudao again.Twelve years ago, the last learning was to perform under the seat of Master Enlightenment of the Taipei Hua Zang Jingzong Society. Less than half a year after the orientation, in order to get close to our old monk and learn the Fa as he wished, I left the Master of Enlightenment.Well, in recent years, I have rarely had the opportunity to meet. It is much harder for me to meet our master than to meet the old monk.Because Master Enlightenment is always surrounded by layers of levels, surrounded by layers, there are so many Dragon Heaven guardians, and all of them are very dedicated, so it’s really not easy to meet each other, so today’s karma is for me. , I was also very pleasantly surprised, very rare.

In fact, as far as we cultivators are concerned, everything in the world is illusion, and there is nothing worthy of our minds, including our family members, and even all material things. We must not be craving or clinging.I really want to meet my family, want all the material, to the Paradise of Bliss, I have everything and I can't enjoy it all.Regardless of the various causes and conditions in this world, whether it is human, matter, or material, as long as we have a single-minded attachment, the sequelae will come!Jealous, obstacles... all kinds of right and wrong will follow, and no one can escape. This is an inevitable cause and effect.Therefore, we must be able to live freely in this world, and we must follow the fate.

Before any good or bad situation appears, we rejoice to accept it. The realm is gone, and when the predestined condition is scattered, we also rejoice to accept it. In this way, our hearts are often kept in a normal mind, although there is no way to be as silent and constant as Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. It is often that the heart is not moving, but at least we must always bring up this righteous thought, and don't be too happy when the good times come, be careful not to be afraid of the extremes of happiness; not afraid of adversity, just test us and achieve our Dao Karma.

I personally have a special experience in this regard. In the face of adversity, the speed of our Dao Karma growth can really be said to have been rapid.On the contrary, it is very dangerous in good times, and some bad habits will arise without knowing it.So I am very cautious about the good fortune, and I still have a little expectation about adversity, and I will not avoid it at all.Because really when facing adversity, the kind of righteous thoughts and alertness in our hearts will rise to the highest level.So when the adversity is over, we will feel a deep Dharma joy.

Regardless of the outcome, when this adversity passed, we had a special appreciation for ourselves: I was able to face it.Then this is a kind of kung fu.Self-confidence in ourselves will continue to improve, so we really have to be grateful for adversity. Without adversity, we really cannot have a deep understanding of the truth of life.Therefore, the Buddha told us that we must take suffering as our teacher. This suffering is adversity, especially adversity. Of course, blessing is also a kind of adversity. It is a hidden crisis! However, for ordinary people, what we are less able to face is adversity. .Therefore, we must see through all kinds of phenomena. Both the right and the wrong are illusory, and then we can face it freely, so that we can live smoothly and profitably in this life, and we will be born into the world of bliss and become a Buddha.
